New features:

- Internet Explorer w/ SWFObject page reload issue fixed
- domain lock protection – if someone steals the swf from your website, it won’t work
License change:
- the PRO license is now for one website. Before a company/individual could use the tool in any website the company/individual owned.
Existing Customers:
You can download the newest version here: http://my.yofla.com/ You will however need to email me the website you want to use with the new 3DRT Flexi so I can add it to authorized domains list.
Create 360 degree product animation in a few clicks.
3D Rotate EZ is a Flash Panel using which you can create 360 degree object or product animations, called also ObjectVR. All you need to do is to set few options (movie size, rotate period) and select a folder with your product images. The script imports the images, adds actionScript code and publishes the movie. The published swf is ready to use in your blog or eshop.
Featrues:
- produces a single file swf with preloader : no XMLs, no external images!
- easy WP,Drupal and other CMS systems integration
- you can copy and paste the rotateMovie movieClip into any other flash project
What is included in the zip file:
- mxp extension file to install the Flash Panel
- JSFL file for those who don’t want to use the script without installing the panel (e.g. for temporary use on an another computer)
- sample images of sandal shoes
- webpage inegration example with swfobject
- videotutorial!
- manual
The manual describes how to integrate the swf into WordPress, Drupal and into an another flash project.
Final notes:
The actionScript wich is added by the script can be modified. If you are experienced with actionScript, you can e.g. plug in your own preloader instead using the provided one.
The published movie size depends on how many and how large images have you used. If your images are 500kb, the published swf size won’t be more than 505kb.
I’ve set up a simple download area for YoFLA clients. If you have purchased any YoFLA software using the ShareIt service, you can log in with your email and order id.
Afte a sucessfull login you can download the lates version of the software you have purchased. Also the unlock codes for the ConfigUtility for 3D Rotate users are avaiable there.
Please let me know if you have any troubles using the clients’ zone when accessing your past orders.
- mouseWheelZooms option fixed (did not work due an error in the code)
New features:
- new ConfigUtility, free for PRO and Enterprise Users
- option to turn on displaying of version number in right click menu in the Enterprise edition. From now on the version number is hidden by default. Usage: set showVersionNumber=”true” in userInterface node to show the 3DRT version number in rightclick menu.
- when rotating an object using arrows in the zoom mode, the large images do not get loaded, until the arrow is depressed. This saves bandwidth and makes the rotating smoother.
- smooth zooming option (zooming goes not in steps), now by default turned on. Pressing a zoom button and holding mouse down continues to zoom until mouse is depressed.
Other:
- free version does not support zooming from now on
If you purchased the 3D Rotate Tool no more than 1 year ago (2 years for Enterprise Customers) you are eligible for a free update.
I’ll set up a page using which you can download the new version and get the license key for the ConfigUtility. Once this page is ready, I will let you know via this blog and Twitter: http://twitter.com/YoFLA

The 4.5.5 version of the tool has a “bug”. A code implemented for one client got into the production version and will cause that the 4.5.5 version will stop working in July 2010.
I’ll email the fixed 4.5.6 version to all my PRO and Enterprise clients today. FREE users, be aware, use the 4.5.4 version instead!
Version 4.5.5 of the tool was released. There is one fix:
- a bug which was introduced in 4.5.3 is fixed (startButton did not show)
Version 4.5.4 of the tool was also released before. There are two new options:
- verticalSensitivity : pixel span in vertical direction after which images at a next level are shown (when multidirectional / multi level object is used)
- arrowInterval : number of milliseconds after a new image is displayed, if an arrow button is pressed. The smaller the value, the faster the objects rotates.

Version 4.5.3 of the tool was released. There are some minor new features:
- zoomBarClickable : if this option is enabled in config.xml, clicking on the zoom bar will zoom. The clickable bar in the zoomBar movieClip must have the instance name “bar” assigned.
- option to show toggleRotateButton and togglePanButton only when zoomed
- rotateZoom option – if enabled the app zooms back to 0% after zoom-in was pressed at 100%
- mouseWheelZooms : option to enable mouseWheel for zooming (do not use if also the webpage scrolls)
There is no example for these new features yet but you can find the new options described in the manual.
